In theory, we all know what works and doesn't work for our bodies; we know that we should eat more vegetables, consume less refined sugar and saturated fat, avoid ultra-processed foods. We know that what we choose to eat has a direct consequence on our health and our happiness. But we have lost touch with our food; it's produced far away from our day to day lives and often arrives prepared and pre-packed to our homes, our desks and our supermarkets. We have built a food environment that is based on food marketing and arbitrary targets, instead of responding to our biology and nourishing ourselves as individuals. Dr Amati explains how to make the most beneficial decisions for maintaining good health at every stage of life. This book combines nutrition, medical science and public health advice to create a simple guide to what we should all know about our food and how it affects us.
